The outcome of the battle was witnessed by the Sphere-Builders, as they had technology that enabled them to study alternate timelines. They contacted the Xindi in the past and fooled them into believing Humanity was a threat that needed to be wiped out, which the Sphere-Builders actually did in an attempt to prevent the Federation from ever being founded.

In 2154, as CaptainJonathan Archer was preparing to undertake a suicide mission to destroy the Xindi weapon in the Delphic Expanse, Temporal AgentDaniels transported Archer through time to witness the historic battle. They viewed the conflict from the observation deck of the USS Enterprise-J, which was participating in the battle from inside the trans-dimensional disturbance. It was Daniels' hope that Archer could be convinced to abandon his suicide mission and instead endeavor to make peace with the Xindi, informing Archer that, without him, the Federation would never come into existence and the Sphere-Builders would remain unopposed. Archer was unconvinced, however, and demanded that Daniels return him to his own time. (ENT: "Azati Prime")

Originally, the Battle of Procyon V was to be shown with an exterior view, portrayed with CGI. Due to financial constraints, the on-screen depiction of the conflict is only ever shown from the Enterprise-J's observation deck. Manny Coto regretted losing the battle footage and stated, "I think the visual effects department was pretty disappointed, because they were ready to go with the battle!"
